Renew Registrations and Monitor for Infringements
Once your intellectual property (IP) is registered, the next crucial step is to actively manage and protect it. This includes renewing your IP registrations, monitoring for unauthorized use or infringements, and taking action when necessary to enforce your rights. At SMEGuardian, we offer comprehensive IP Management and Protection services to ensure your assets remain secure and valuable over time.
What Happens in the Manage and Protect Stage:
- Renewing IP Registrations:
- Trademarks, patents, and copyrights require periodic renewal to maintain their validity and exclusive rights.
- We track renewal dates and handle the submission of necessary forms and fees to ensure continuous protection of your IP.
- Ongoing Monitoring for Infringements:
- We conduct regular monitoring to detect unauthorized use of your IP across various platforms, markets, and industries.
- Our team watches for potential infringement, including counterfeit products, unauthorized use of your brand, or the unauthorized reproduction of your creative works.
- Enforcement of IP Rights:
- If we detect any infringement, we take prompt action to enforce your IP rights. This may involve sending cease-and-desist letters, negotiating settlements, or pursuing legal action.
- We support you through the enforcement process to safeguard your brand and assets.
- Updating Your IP Portfolio:
- As your business grows, you may acquire new IP assets or expand your current portfolio. We assist in updating and managing these assets, ensuring they remain properly protected.
- Whether it’s filing additional trademarks, patents, or securing international protection, we keep your portfolio up-to-date.
- IP Strategy Review:
- We regularly review your IP strategy to ensure it aligns with your business goals, expansion plans, and market conditions.
